Rapid Drainage Solutions: Clear Pipes, Zero Stress
Internal and external drains face constant pressure from grease, hair, wet wipes, and tree roots. We use professional-grade equipment to diagnose the blockage and clear it completely, restoring your pipes to full flow and ensuring your home remains sanitary and safe.
1. Precision Drain Clearance & Repairs
Clearing the toughest blockages and fixing the source of the problem.
Don’t let a minor clog turn into a major flood. Our clearance services target the root cause of the backup to prevent recurring issues and protect your pipework.
- High-Pressure Water Jetting: Blasting through stubborn grease, fat, and debris in external sewer lines.
- Mechanical Snaking: Clearing internal blockages in sinks, toilets, and showers without damaging your fixtures.
- Root Removal: Cutting through invasive tree roots that have breached your underground drainage pipes.
- Structural Patching: Repairing cracked or collapsed pipes that cause frequent “catch points” for blockages.
2. Expert Drainage Diagnostics & Maintenance
Modern technology to see what’s happening beneath your home.
We don’t just guess where the problem is. We use advanced tools to provide a “Gold Standard” view of your drainage system’s health.
- CCTV Drain Surveys: Inserting high-definition cameras into your pipes to identify cracks, blockages, or collapsed sections.
- Homebuyer Drainage Reports: Essential surveys for new property owners to ensure there are no hidden “money pits” underground.
- Drain Descaling: Removing hard limescale and uric scale buildup from cast iron and PVC pipes to improve flow.
- Preventative Cleaning: Scheduled maintenance for commercial kitchens and high-traffic homes to avoid emergency backups.
The “Gold Standard” Clearance Process
We follow a meticulous process to ensure your drains stay clear for the long term:
- Site Assessment: We identify whether the blockage is within your property boundary or if it’s a shared sewer (which may be the responsibility of the water authority).
- Safe Clearance Techniques: We choose the right pressure and tool for your specific pipe material to avoid accidental bursts.
- Post-Clearance Flush: Once the blockage is gone, we perform a high-volume flush to ensure no loose debris remains to cause a secondary clog.
- Hygiene Sanitisation: We clean and disinfect the affected area to protect your family or staff from bacteria and odours.

Common Drainage Questions
Is a blocked drain my responsibility or the water company’s? Generally, you are responsible for drains within your property boundary. If the blockage is in a “lateral drain” (shared with neighbors) or the main sewer in the street, it is usually the responsibility of Severn Trent or your local water authority. We can help you identify this!
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to fix the clog? We advise caution. Heavy chemicals can damage older pipes and often only “burn” a small hole through the blockage rather than clearing it, leading to a repeat clog days later. Mechanical clearance is much safer and more effective.
Why do my drains smell even when they aren’t blocked? This is often caused by a “dry trap” (where water has evaporated) or a buildup of bacteria and grease on the pipe walls. A professional descaling or “trap prime” usually solves the issue instantly.
